DIR. Koch was chaplain to Prince
Alexander Of Battenberg, and now
publishes his experience of the Bull
gariaus, and running commentary
on the events connected with the
reign of the ex-Prince. The divi-
nifty doctor does not so much let
cats out of the bag, as to let in
light, on the great game of hypro-
crisy played, and still playing in
the Balkan peninsula. Prince Alex
ander can we'll subscribe to the
maxim, "uneasy lies the head that
wears u CROWN" as he on one occa-
sion wrote to his sister, the Com
tessc d'Erbach, his "throne was
seated on dynamite. And yet his
arch enemy the Gar, is if anything
worse. Alexander retired from busi-
ness, and at home with his pa, is q
thousand times more comfortable
than Alexander Ill of Russia, who,
if he promenades in the streets of
his capital, is exposed to be blown
into fragments, and if he takes his
walks abroad in the seclusion of
Gatschina park, runs the risk of
being shot by his own sentinel Off
GERS. Muukacy's "Last Day of q
Condemned" is relief, beside the
agony of the white Car, for we
know how his nerves are unstrung,
and the fear of death is most in
apprehension. Nor can he omit
from his bed of torture, that if he
comedies constitution, his mobiles
have also decided means, how to
deal with disobedient or flighty
| Cars.
At the time the revolution broke
out in Roumelia, the three Emperors
expressed the most perfect surprise,
All farce. The outbreak was
planned, and the date fixed to open
the ball, in presence of the otlcia
representatives of Russia, who fur.
thermore signed the minutes of the
meeting, and copy was sent to St
Petersburg. Only the Gar wa:
disappointed, when the revolution
failed to sweep away his namesake
DIR. Koch asserts Bismarck was de-
lighted at the spectacle of a German
ruling in Bulgaria, and his whole
aim is, remembering his contemp
for mankind, and his readiness tt
sacrifice the whole world for the in
terests of Germany" to use Bul
garia as a bon-bon to recompens'
whatever power would be mos
useful to him in his little game
